Hi.

I do not know who let this posting through, but I think something went
seriously wrong here.

Why do you hate system crackers ?
Because they do no respect property and privacy ?

What do the mailing list administrators do here, letting a confidential
source code with full copyright and confidentiality header intact through a
public mailing list. The Bugtraq mailing list was especially noted as
example even in the header, which should not be allowed to disclose this.

Oh, and another odd thing, there is no X-Approved-By: this time in the
post, I wonder why. Do you know ?

Although a lot of Bugtraq readers might not agree with me here, I think
there is a right under which I can deny the disclosure of this source code.
Call it privacy, call it copyright, I do not care about its name.

I understand the moderators of this mailing lists can't sift through
thousands of lines of code backchecking and tracking down its origin and
whether it is allowed to be posted by their authors. But this is different.
Every layman can see quickly that there is a working copyright header, which
explicitly states it should not be disclosed.

I reserve legal steps against this violation of my rights.

ciao,
